The Journey Begins...






“Those who are subject to the state called reverie, feel as if their nature were dissolved into the surrounding universe, or as if the surrounding universe were absorbed into their being. They are conscious of no distinction. And these are states which precede, or accompany, or follow an unusually intense and vivid apprehension of life...” (P.B. Shelley)




WELCOME to my romantic Utopia, dear friends. What might not be plausible in real life can perhaps take shape here. Whoever wants to pause here for a few minutes in the course of his or her busy and mundane daily schedule is welcome. Treat this nook as a haven of blissful relaxation. There will be a plethora of topics here; but most visibly and importantly, there will be FANTASY! So let the flight of fantasy begin...
And my dear online Utopia of fantasy, upon your birth I gift you these lines that I composed several years ago. This is a pledge, a promise and a tryst with Destiny that I’ve made...

The Song of Life

My heart shall beat for eternity,
Taking its cue, and humming along,
For Life is but an endless song,
Brimming with vibrant variety.
Pure and true as Nature virgin,
And serene as the morning dew,
Sparkling ever with melodies new,
The Song of Life is etched within.
Today's tunes are a bridge between
What is to come, and what has been,
The joy of the day is ours to prize,
To know, to feel, to realise,
The beauty of a sunset lies
In the promise of a new sunrise.


So that’s it for now, friends. A small and humble beginning it is. But my Utopia will bloom; like a lotus it will spread its petals and bloom...

VIVA UTOPIA!!!
